This means that Kakao will hold the right to even get all the revenue from all the YouTube views as well?

1. What does "May" exactly mean in this context? I mean, if someone makes a fantastic trailer and the third-party music absolutly nails the vibe/emotion/epicness, then why can't Kakao do their part of the job and get their hands on the right contracts with the publisher?

2. Is color grading allowed? It's an crucial step to create the intended atmosphere, but one could make the point that it wouldn't portray the game as it is.

EDIT: 3. "The videos cannot contain any text.." So no title cards like "Addictive action combat system" or "Breathtaking visuals" with example afterwards?

Other than that, I'd love to make an awesome trailer, but you should atleast offer an unique title for every serious entry.

I was honestly thinking of entering both this and the helping guide contest, but instead got a full load of shit from that disclaimer. YOU'RE MAKING US ADVERTISE THE DAMN GAME FOR YOU AGAIN!? WHY NOT DO IT YOURSELF!?
